Key Data on
Education in Europe 2012 is a Eurydice flagship publication tracing the main
developments of European education systems over the last decade.

The report
combines statistical data with qualitative information to describe the
organisation, management and functioning of 37 European education systems from
pre-primary to higher education.

More
specifically, the 95 indicators included in the report address the following
topics: Demographic Context, Educational Structures, Participation, Resources,
Teachers and Management staff, Educational Processes and Qualification Levels
and Transition to Employment.

In
comparison to the previous edition, Key data on Education 2012 has been
improved through the inclusion of longer time series, making it easier to identify
specific developments affecting aspects of education systems and to analyse the
present situation in regard to the past.

Key Data on
Education 2012 is a joint publication with Eurostat and based on data collected
through the National Units of the Eurydice Network, Eurostat, and the PISA 2009
international survey.
